A poll for the state elections in Bavaria provides alarming results for the CSU.
At the same time, almost half of the citizens are dissatisfied with their prime minister.
Augsburg – 49 percent of Bavarians are “rather” or “very” dissatisfied with the work of their prime minister, Markus Söder.
This was the result of a representative survey by the opinion research institute Civey on behalf of the
Augsburger Allgemeine
.
According to this survey, the coalition of CSU and Free Voters would no longer receive a majority.
Bayern trend: Söder's popularity ratings are increasing again
38 percent were "very" or "fairly" satisfied with the work of the CSU politician, 13 percent were "undecided".
The question was asked from February 17th to March 17th to more than 5,000 Bavarians selected to be representative of the population.
The sum of 49 percent "rather" or "very" dissatisfied even means a small step forward for Söder.
This is five percentage points less than in the survey in the previous month.
State election: Government currently no longer has a majority
According to the Civey survey, if there were state elections on Sunday, the CSU and the Free Voters together would get 46 percent of the votes.
The free voters would therefore reach 10 percent, as in the survey in the previous month.
The CSU would lose one percentage point and come to 36 percent.
That would be a weaker result than in the 2018 election. In the last state election, the CSU got 37.2 percent of the votes.
The Greens emerged as the strongest winners compared to the previous month's survey, with an increase of three percentage points to 17 percent.

State elections in Saarland
There was also a sobering survey for Söder's fellow Prime Minister Tobias Hans (CDU).
State elections will take place in Saarland next week.
The survey from Saarland saw the SPD clearly ahead of the CDU with 37 percent of the votes.
The sister party of the CSU only got 31 percent.
In the past legislative period, the CDU and SPD ruled together in Saarland.
